Number 3, I use this all the time, to cut a long story short. 好的。第三个，我一直用这个，长话短说。 To cut a long story short. 长话短说。 I really do need to work on making my long stories shorter. 我真的需要把我的长篇故事缩短。 I have the habit of starting a story with a lot of enthusiasm, especially in front of a group of people. 我有以极大的热情讲故事的习惯，尤其是在一群人面前。 And then I just, I lose the plot. 然后我就忘记了情节。 It doesn't go anywhere. 它没有任何走向。 I don't finish it. 我没有说完它。 I just trail off. 我会跑题。 To cut a long story short, we use this phrase to say, I'm going to tell you the main point of the story. 长话短说，我们用这个短语来说，我要告诉你故事的要点。 I'll cut out all the extras. 我会删掉所有额外的内容。 I'm going to make this long story shorter by just telling you the essential information. 为了让长话短说，我只告诉你最基本的信息。 We often say this when we realise that we've been waffling on for a while and we need to get to the point. 当我们意识到我们已经喋喋不休了一段时间，我们需要直奔主题时，我们经常这样说。 To waffle, or here I used it in a phrasal verb, to waffle on, is to talk for a long time without saying anything really of value or anything really interesting. 喋喋不休，或者在这里我用它作为动词短语，喋喋喋不休，就是说了很长时间，但是没有说任何真正有价值或真正有趣的内容。 Sorry, I've been waffling on for hours. 对不起，我已经喋喋不休了几个小时了。 I've been waffling for hours. 我已经喋喋不休了几个小时了。 You add the preposition on to turn waffle into a phrasal verb, and it just adds emphasis. 你加上介词 on，把它变成动词短语，它只是增加了强调。 It implies that this is an ongoing action. 这意味着这是一项持续的行动。 I actually can't believe I've been waffling on about the phrase, to waffle and to waffle on. 我真的不敢相信我一直在喋喋不休地说这个短语。 That is just so explanatory. 现在你明白是什么意思了。 Let's go back to cut a long story short. 让我们回过头来长话短说。 Sometimes we preface this phrase with anyway, which is another word I use about 150 times a day. 有时我们会在这个短语前面加上 anyway，这是我每天使用大约 150 次的另一个词。 Anyway, to cut a long story short. 总之，长话短说。 I am sorry if I go on a bit. 如果我继续说下去，我很抱歉。 I just get really excited by words and phrases. 我只是对单词和短语感到非常兴奋。 I want you to know them all. 我想让你知道了解它的一切。 Let's go to number 4, which is, make up your mind! 我们来讲第四个，那就是，下定决心！ Make up your mind! 下定决心！ This is the last general one, and it means, decide! 这是一个宽泛的说法，意思是，决定！ Or make a decision! 或者做出决定！ We tend to use this phrase when we're a bit frustrated because someone can't or won't decide. 当我们因为某人不能或不愿做出决定而有点沮丧时，我们往往会用这个短语。 I say it to my dog, Diego, when he's standing in the doorway, wondering whether to go outside or not, letting in lots of cold air and lots of leaves. 我对我的狗迭亚戈说这句话，当它站在门口，不知道是否出去，同时冷空气和树叶都跑进屋里了。 Make up your mind, Diego! 下定决心，迭戈！ Make a decision. 做出决定。 Okay, so those are my general phrases. 好的，这些是我常用的短语。 Now I'm going to move through my work day from morning to evening. 现在我要按照从早到晚的顺序讲述我的工作日。 So let's get cracking. 所以我们开始吧。 Let's get on with it. 我们开始吧。 I'm starting in the morning, but I only have three phrases to put here because I don't talk a lot in the morning. 我从早上开始，但我只有三个短语要讲，因为我早上不怎么说话。 However, if I am saying anything at 7 am, these are the ones I'd use. 然而，如果我要在早上 7 点说点什么，我会用这些。 Mind if I grab the last?

介意我拿最后一个吗？ Number 6, I use this a lot. 第六个，我经常用这个。 I've got to dash, or just for short, gotta dash. 我得走了，或者简称，得走了。 Gotta dash. 得走了。 This means I have to leave quickly, normally because I'm late. 这意味着我必须快点离开，通常是因为我迟到了。 You can use it at any time of the day, but I often say it in the mornings because that's usually when I'm in a hurry. 你可以在一天中的任何时候使用它，但是我经常在早上说，因为那时我通常很匆忙。 Number 7, another similar one, let's get a move on, or let's get going. 第七个，另一个很类似的，我们快走吧，或者我们走吧。 This is a phrase we often say when we really want to leave, or we need to leave with someone else. 当我们真的想离开，或者我们需要和别人一起离开时，这是我们经常说的一句话。 It means, come on, we need to go. 意思是，好了，我们得走了。 Let's get going. 我们走吧。 Let's get a move on. 我们快走吧。 It's quite colloquial, quite casual, informal, and it's not rude, but it also isn't polite. 这很口语化，很随意，非正式，并不粗鲁，但也不礼貌。 I feel annoyed when Will says it to me. 当威尔对我说这句话时，我感到很恼火。 If he says, let's get a move on, he's implying that I'm being slow, or I'm going to be late. 如果他说，我们快走吧，他是在暗示我太慢了，或者我要迟到了。 And I know, I know I'm slow. 我知道，我知道我很慢。 I know I'm going to be late. 我知道我要迟到了。 You don't have to tell me. 不用你告诉我。 Because of that, use it with your friends and family, but don't use it with your boss. 因此，对你的朋友和家人使用它，但不要对你的老板使用它。 Let's move on to some things that I say every day during my work day. 让我们继续讨论我在工作日每天说的话。 Let's get cracking. 我们开始吧。 I said that one at the beginning. 我一开始就说过了。 Do you remember?
